choice a new phone?

i have make a search for a new best phone for me i cant choice wich one is the best
i was thinking about SAMSUNG I9100 GALAXY S II vs SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE vs i phone 4 vs HTC Sensation vs Samsung Galaxy Nexus...which one you will suggest to me for the top use ?

My personal opinion I like the new Motorola Razr (Or Droid Razr in the US). 1GB RAM, Dual core 1.2cpu and seperate gpu. 16Gb internal with SD ext support. 8Mp Camera rather than 5.
The new Nexus is comparable but has 5mp camera and no external sd card support, which I just don't understand.
If you like the Galaxy, version 3 should be out 1st 1/4 of next year. That looks a beast.

you have to decide wither to go with Android or iOS.
if you want more apps, much much less customization go with iOS and buy iPhone 4/4s
------
if you want good amount of apps, customizable OS go with Android
then ask your self do I want a phone or a small tablet if you want a phone remove the note from your list
other phones in the market share the same specs: 1.2 dual core around 1GB ram
5-8 mb camera
I will go with HTC rezound (in US) or the Galaxy nexus or If you like the design of
Motorola Razr its good phone (my friend told me its camera is not that good)
my final personal choice will be the new Galaxy Nexus

You can't go wrong with Galaxy S II. It packs all the things we love in Android - big screen (but not too big), open bootloader, great power etc.

I just love the idea of "Pure Google" phones. I have a Nexus S that I love. I'd go for that if I were you, or even better, if you have the budget to afford it, for a Galaxy Nexus.
Pure Google phones = best support (quick system update deployment), no bloatware (I'm not a fan of TouchWiz, Sense and others).
Of course it is a bit irrelevant once you install CM on them, but there's something that makes me feel good to have the brand Google on the back of my phone.

and remember, tinkering with Apple stuff is a futile effort! unless you work for them. which i suppose is like a gang initiation in / out. basically apple-ites live on their own little planet.

I heard that the sound quality on the s2 is not as good as the first version.

i was thinking to buy the htc flyer but with the samsung note maybe i change my mind because i saw the specs for that device and i think is better to have 2 things in one devices and more more cheaper

In my opinion the Galaxy Nexus is the best you could get because you can be sure that Google will support this phone a long time and the hardware is really nice.
The second phone I would choose is the S2, brilliant screen and epic phone.

Hi, I had the Captivate, then upgraded to the SGSII. Now my wife has the Cappy. I just put a rom in the I777. Working great. I love the SGSII.
Just my 2 cents.

i decide that i wont buy an iPhone and i will stay with the awesome android OS.
but i want to learn more about the Samsung phones ...like how to root each of them and if i can root them.
what phone have the best screen from the others and the camera.
also about the best custom things like roms and hacks.
battery life and also the best and more important part what are the problems they have .
And if their is a compare video or site with all the samsung phone i am interesting

What about SG note? Weird that nobody recommends it

That is very simple, HTC Sensation.
It has design, beauty and class over others.

Get iphone because remember if u have an iphone, u don't have an iphone.

The HTC Sensation is very nice. I love mine. Even after buying the HTC Amaze I STILL use my Sensation. It feels very nice in the hand...and you can buy white battery covers which when combined with a new ROM, make you feel like you have a new phone.

I recently got a HD7 with windows phone, and i gotta say, its really nice.
its buttery smooth, fastest growing apps market, etc. the phone is also really nice, fast, good size, good weight, nice screen, not too bad of a camera (cant beat a real camera ofc, but still).
just my opinion.

S2

i have seen the specs of the phone and its also awsome but noone want it ....why ???

I think the Galaxy Not is a little bit too big for the most. But i would take it

As long as it fits in the pocket, its not too big(and has nice specs too)

[Q] Hi people! a little question

Hi community of xda , I have a little question about two incredibles cell phones.
They are Samsung Galaxy SII and Samsung Galaxy Nexus , I am able to buy one of this , but I am not sure which is better , for this I am here and ask my question.
I want to see opinions of the people and with this I will buy one of the two.
Sorry for my poor english.
Thank you

From these nexus is better..because performance and display is better than s2.and the benefit of nexus is you will get the update of OS on time...sure...
Xperian8~ click thanks if it helps...

This should help you, check here.

Both have a huge community and lots of custom stuff to play with.
The display is nice and performance is not that different either.
Both phones have ICS available.
The biggest drawback of the nexus is no extra SD slot.
If that is not an issue, pick the one you think looks the best.
Edit: Price is currently the same for both on amazon too.
You can't really go wrong with either one.
WARNING:
I'm assuming you have the choice between the i9100 and i9250.
But if the choice is between the i9100G (Current batch of SGS2 being produced) and i9250, take the i9250 (gnexus).

You should compare them on gamarena. I've had a little go on the SII and it's alright but I don't really like the look and feel of it. I've never tried the Galaxy Nexus before but it looks like it is a very good phone. The Galaxy Nexus has a slightly bigger screen (I like big screens) so I'd personally choose the Nexus. Also the I think the SII is slightly overrated and the Nexus is kind of hiding around the corner because a lot of people think that the SII is the best and blah blah without thinking about other phones (This is my personal opinion so please don't hate).

Samsung Galaxy SII without any doubt.

Nexus
Galaxy Nexus... No doubt and if you really want to you can go compare it at "gsmarena.com"

Buy Samsung Galaxy SII it's better and it has ICS update

[Q] What phone to buy?

I want to save for a new phone, i was thinking of getting a Galaxy S ii or Galaxy Nexus. Which is better?

they are the same only nexus has a better screen. (CORRECT ME IF IM WRONG)
why dont you wait for s3 like i do?

i wiil go with nexus
i think "Galaxy Nexus" would be better. u will get a long talk time and better uploading speed here. downloading speed is also good here....

I honestly and personally would get the Galaxy Nexus. The SII seems a bit over rated to me. Also the Galaxy Nexus looks a lot better and looks like something that is fun to use

Galaxy sII

Better in terms of pixel density which results in slightly sharper images. However, the s2 produces better quality images and the contrast and viewing angles are much better

get the nexus .more updates in the future

Galaxy Nexus. Screen is really nice and it is smooth right out of the box.
Samsung also sells an extended battery which adds very minimal bulk. It makes the battery cover flush and adds a little bit of weight which feels nice.

Galaxy sII：O

i think galacy nexus is better, however if i were u i would buy an htc one s

So any way it depends what you use your phone for. If you want high resilousion pics then go with the s2 cause it has the 8mp camera compared to the 5mp camera for the nexus. So if you put the s2's photos on a big screen it will look better than the nexus's photos on the same big screen,but if you look at the nexus's photos on the phone screen it will look better than the s2's photos on the phone screen because the nexus has a higher resliousion screen.
So if you are gona put your photos onto a computer then go with the s2 but if you are gona just look at them on you phone then go with the nexus. The specs of the two phones are the same a think is 1.2 ghz dule core prossor and 202 gpu.
It should be fast enough for daily tasks and gameing alike.
PS. sorry about the spelling mistakes Iam a 13 year old boy

Galaxy Nexus for me. Only because it's an official Google phone, I love to have the updates before everyone else

i think galaxy nexus is better.. it has more modern technology than galaxy S2

i also think that galaxy nexus is better

Well i too would suggest the nexus.. but if you are still saving.. and saving big.. wait for the s3 !!

I think Nexus is better than S2 for performance.But You can try to another Product like HTC or Sony.

My vote is on the Nexus
However if you have that kind of cash why not consider something newer in the market?

I would definately wait for the s3! the official release is this thursday, so it's sooooo close!
there is no official picture but there are some leaked pictures based photos, check out the site of sammobile . com, there are some pics! (I can't post links..)
it supports better specs than s2 or nexus.
If you don't like this and can't wait for 2 days, I would say galaxy s2 because it has such an overwhelming development section with soo many ROMs etcetera.

You should wait just a couple of days..
For sure the one currently with the most up to date software without having to root it and install one of the custom ROMs here would be the Galaxy Nexus. Although it won't be the best device in a couple of days. I suggest you to wait just at least a couple of day before choosing if your one top notch up to date kind of guy since the Galaxy SIII should be announced on May 3rd by Samsung. Also, the HTC One series are getting through many carriers these day until the end of may. The One X is definitively a much better device currently even if it's not available everywhere. Anyhow, if you want it at the end of the day, I would go with the Galaxy Nexus, if you can wait just a couple of days, I would be curious to compare it with the incoming One X or the SIII!

If your into custom rooms, definitely go for the s2 as there is more going on in the development section

[Q] Troubles in choosing right smartphone. Need help.

Hi,
It's time to buy a new smartphone. My previously smartphone was a Samsung Galaxy S3 and I really enjoyed it, but I sold it.
Now I want to buy either Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE 4G or Samsung Galaxy Note2 4G. The only problem is that I find it hard to decide which one to choose, which one is better, so I want to see some reviews or/and opinions from the users of it. And some cons/pros thanks.
What I want to know the most is: Which: Processor(CPU) & Graphics -is better?
Comparison

They have the same graphics chip and the Note's processor is just clocked a bit higher than the S3. Real world performance should be very close so it basically comes down to the size. Which size do you prefer? Is S-Pen a must?

Well the S Pen is not a must, I prefer using my fingers to touch. Of course everyone likes bigger things, I really don't know what to say, when I had my SGS3 I thought that I was holding ''Godzilla'' in my hands and pocket -but now I guess I will hold his bigger brother? haha just kidding. Still hard to decide. What smartphone do you own?

Rocking a Liberty :laugh: (waiting for the Nexus 4 to restock). With your choices, I would go for the Note 2 since I play games often on my devices. I usually play on my tablets, but it won't hurt to be on the go with a phone . But as it is, to each their own .

[Q] [DISCUSSION] Nexus 5 or Galaxy S3? (As daily driver, KitKat)

Alright, so I'm getting a new phone this summer (or Christmas) and I can't decide between the Galaxy S3 and the Nexus 5. The Galaxy S3 is 100€ cheaper but the Nexus 5 is the newer and more supported. I'm looking for a phone that can be my daily driver and possibly take good photos and video, although I'm not really looking for amazing quality. I'm used to low end smartphones like the Galaxy Pocket (God that thing was a nightmare) and Galaxy S Duos (this one is a bit better but JESUS IT SUCKS AS WELL-- only sometimes).
I don't want TouchWiz no matter how much "faster" and "more beautiful" it is, because I know that Samsung only makes it go fast for about a month and then BOOM it's slow as heck for no reason. If I get the Galaxy S3, I'm gonna flash a KitKat ROM on it.
